I read that Gallagher has ankle ligament damage, so get won't be fit. Also a rumour that Yoshida has had pneumonia, in which case he shouldn't be risked. Maybe give Jones/Ramsey a game, depending on when the U23 final is. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Slightly off topic but I really want Watford to win the FA Cup. Just for the perverse amusement of seeing the coveted 7th place actually not getting into Europe, although Wolves fans think they're already there. And to see Manure (probably) have to go through the qualifying rounds of the Europa in July rather than their money-spinning Asian trip. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That'll do, but I might suggest Long for Ings and Jones/ Ramsey for Stephens Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Once the euphoria of the early games wore off he's looked totally lost. No inspiration from the touchline, no passion, no indication that he's directing tactics. Seems to me that the players wanted Jose out and got their way so were happy enough whilst things were going well. Wouldn't be surprised if more than a few see Ole as a soft option and helped him get the job permanently. But they are a bunch of egos who have little interest in working to get success for the team. Priorities are winning trophies for personal glory and getting paid massively. So first reaction to probable non-qualification for CL is to blame the club, the manager and other players and agitate for a move. Mess. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'll accept beating Manure isn't exactly a challenge the way they are Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Looks like Huddersfield just coming into a bit of form Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

An equaliser for Huddersfield Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Accepted. But I think Stephens was in the category of being given a last chance. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

If you listened to his interviews or read anything, you'd know. [emoji848] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

What choice was there today? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Since you said it twice, I guess that's true. [emoji6] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Just seen the highlights (lowlights?). Forster was so weak for the second and didn't move for the third. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I look forward to you waving your magic wand that makes other clubs bid for them Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

So you don't think the players who gave given everything over the last month to keep us up, and succeeded, deserved any reward? I thought it was a good and generous gesture. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

There were at most three players in the team today who I would say aren't up to it. And with Stephens there wasn't much choice. What alternative strikers would you have played? If this had been a must win game, we would not have seen that team. It was giving players a chance. I will certainly be there next week to thank the players and manager who kept us up.

Not at all. That's rubbish. It's true several regulars looked jaded and the decision to play Elyounoussi and Forster has answered some questions. This wasn't a must win game. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I was at the game. We lacked intensity, urgency and energy. Agree with Ralph saying we're tired and it does emphasise how much has been put into staying up with a limited squad. Valery did look tired and made a tired error for the first goal. But Elyounoussi and Forster weren't tired. They were just poor. Don't agree that Forster did anything particularly good. Kicking was bad. Made two saves, one if which he pushed into the danger area. I'm still terrified when he plays. Elyounoussi was too slow, too indecisive and just lacked awareness. I thought Armstrong was ok, but bottled chances to shoot more than once. At least he tried to be direct. Long should gave shot rather than trying for the penalty (but thought it wasn't a bad shout) Lemina was also ok. Some nice touches but lacks Romeu's no nonsense approach at critical moments. So, if we can get takers, and it's a big if, Forster, Elyounoussi and Stephens can go. Armstrong is good enough for backup. Austin I think will go. Long night gave a season in him as an impact sub. Really don't know about Ings, but seems we have to buy him. I do not agree with the poster who suggested Bednarek isn't good enough. He is, and has had to hold the defence together with first Vestergaard then Maya out. So we need backup RB, CB, AM - maybe Boufal but I doubt it, and a striker. Ralph said he wants to give the fans a proper end of season next week, do I hope the players who kept us up play Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

He didn't say anything like that. Can't decide if this is very amateurish trolling or you simply don't check facts. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I assume you're just making that up as Ralph said yesterday he would not be making 6-7 changes but one or two players who haven't had many chances may get some game time. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'm worried. I agree with leafy-chops. [emoji44] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Sorry, but I wouldn't be happy risking Forster. Suppose the only chance of moving him on is to put him in the shop window (with a Massive Reduction sign). Momentum in the last couple of games is important to take forward into next season and we're already without Vestergaard and Yoshida. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Vestergaard out for the season, as expected, but Maya not available either, which is a blow. Hope he goes with three at the back, including Bertrand, with Targett LB. Unless he decides to give Ramsey or Jones a chance. At least Carroll is out. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Thought/hoped you weren't posting any more. Or was that just made-up transfer non-news? I struggle to keep up with your personae and proclamations. I doubt the price hike is on the basis of expectations, more likely a marketing strategy to sell more season tickets which are now at an attractive differential per game.

At least it makes my ST at £30.05 a game seem better value. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Just took a look at these. Having a ST I'm not really in touch but £65 for seats around me in Kingsland North for Cat A" and A games seems steep. Is that as big an increase as it feels? I'll accept there is quite a big differential around the ground. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
